After City’s open training session at the stadium and in front of our fans, McAidoo expressed his excitement ahead of tomorrow’s game and how grateful he is to be learning from some of Europe’s most elite players.
“We are all talented [Academy players] in different ways and the older players have helped us a lot to keep up with the intensity and do the right things on and off the pitch,” said McAidoo.
“[We are] so grateful to them.
“As young players you all want to play in the highest level of games, it’s what we dream of.
“So hopefully we all get our opportunity to show what we can do [against Inter].”
